Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, and since the end of the Second World War that’s exactly what the US and Canada have been. They’ve enjoyed free trade agreements, close knit economic ties - and not so friendly ice hockey matches. But recently this relationship has soured, with President Trump calling them “one of the nastiest countries to deal with”. It looks like the era of mostly free trade is over, with a raft of tariffs set to come into force on April the 2nd, or “liberation day”

Dr. Wall highlights key findings from two meta analysis research articles about dyscalculia.

Geçtiğimiz Mart ayı içerisinde işlediğimiz konuları özetliyor; program döneminin son ayında işleyeceğimiz konular hakkında bilgi veriyoruz.

This account recounts a nightmarish incident at PayPal where a flawed implementation of Shamir Secret Sharing, a cryptographic technique for distributing a secret key among multiple parties, nearly caused a catastrophic system failure. The author, a PayPal engineer, explains the process of Shamir Secret Sharing and how he implemented it to improve security by distributing the master encryption key. However, a seemingly minor incompatibility between the Linux and Solaris operating systems, involving

We cover Anthropic’s groundbreaking Model Context Protocol (MCP). Though it was released in November 2024, we've been seeing a lot of hype around it lately, and thought it was well worth digging into. Learn how this open standard is revolutionizing AI by enabling seamless integration between LLMs and external data sources, fundamentally transforming them into capable, context-aware agents. We explore the key benefits of MCP, including enhanced context retention across interactions, impr...

Send us a text Imagine a student looking at you, frustrated, saying, 'I don’t get it.' It’s tempting to step in and rescue them, right? Today, we’re talking about productive struggle—why it’s a game-changer for math classrooms and how to make it happen without letting kids flounder. We are chatting about: What productive struggle isWhy it's important to let students struggle in the math classroomHow to foster productive struggle Links mentioned in this episode: 📘 Principles to Acti...

In this episode, we come back to the definition of risk and start discussing how we can measure it. That is why we need to introduce risk measures. But that requires us to be more formal and speak about the sample space and the event space in a more mathematical way.Ready to discover the power set?We are paving the way to introduce the probability space, a pivotal concept for us.Ready to take the risk?Become a supporter of this podcast:

Migrating the US government to quantum-resistant cryptography is hard, luckily the gamer presidents are on it. This episode is extremely not safe for work, nor does it reflect the political opinions of, well, anybody. "Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@davidcadrian)

Hardworking women are the backbone of our communities, families, and relationships—yet they rarely receive the recognition they deserve. This heartfelt episode celebrates the countless contributions women make every day, from managing households and raising children to supporting their partners and pursuing their own dreams. "The true glue to the family, the true glue to everything," as we describe them, women across all backgrounds deserve our respect and appreciation. Whether they're schoo...

On 27 December 2024, astronomers spotted an asteroid that was potentially heading towards earth.Named 2024 YR4, it was estimated to be between 40m and 90m across, with the potential to cause massive damage if it hit a populated area of the planet.The chances of that happening, however, seemed to fluctuate significantly - ranging from 1% to a peak of 3%, before falling to virtually zero. Tim Harford investigates what was going on, with the help of Davide Farnocchia, a navigation engineer at

The finite developments theorem in pure lambda calculus says that if you select as set of redexes in a lambda term and reduce only those and their residuals (redexes that can be traced back as existing in the original set), then this process will always terminate. In this episode, I discuss the theorem and why I got interested in it.

Send us a text Welcome back to Math Chat! Today’s episode is all about how we can break free from the script and let our students lead. Today’s episode is going to require a shift in teacher mindset. So, if you are like me and a bit of a control freak, Type A if you will… then I’m talking to you. Letting go of control can actually help students learn more in math. I know it’s hard, but it is essential to day’s big idea. We are chatting about: What student-centered learning i...

This framework, outlined in "MLIF.pdf," defines and aims to structure artificial intelligence as mathematical light, where intelligence emerges as a structured wave field rather than a static computational process. The core idea is to encode intelligence as a field of structured mathematical light, balancing modularity, recursion, coherence, and scale-invariance.Here's a breakdown of how this framework approaches the concept:Purpose and Intention: The framework's purpose is to guide AI towards

SLAP and FLOP are two new speculative execution attacks targeting Apple's M-series chips. SLAP exploits the Load Address Predictor (LAP) to leak data by predicting incorrect memory addresses, while FLOP leverages the Load Value Predictor (LVP) to predict incorrect data values. Both attacks allow unauthorized access to sensitive information from web browsers like Safari and Chrome, compromising data ranging from email content to financial details. Researchers demonstrated proof-of-concept attacks

You may have seen a map circulated on social media that claims to show the average IQ of different nations. If you look closely these numbers vary dramatically, with incredibly low scores in developing countries, including many in Africa. Unsurprisingly the map is often used as a way to bolster arguments about racial or national superiority. However, when you look at the data behind the claims the whole thing falls apart. We dive into the methods behind the map and ask whether it’s even possible to
